Brazilian Butt Lift FAQ

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a simple cosmetic procedure that improves the look of your backside. If your buttocks are sagging or flat, this type of procedure will add fullness and volume to that area.

What does a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure entail?

The Brazilian Butt Lift takes excess fat from your thighs, stomach, and/or hips using a liposuction technique. Then, this excess fat is used in the buttocks to lift, reshape, and create projection.

How much does a Brazilian Butt Lift cost?

Costs will vary depending on how much you want done, how saggy the butt is currently, and how much projection you want in the final result. Since these factors will be unique to each client, it's best to contact us so we can schedule a consultation. We accommodate different budgets, so let's talk!

What's the difference between a Brazilian Butt Lift and getting implants?

When you have a Brazilian Butt Lift, you are using your body's own fat to contour and improve the look of your backside. This gives the final result a more natural and smooth appearance compared to implants. Also, the risk of infection is higher with an implant procedure.

What types of results do Brazilian Butt Lifts give?

When the excess fat is placed in the trouble spots and flat areas of the butt, it gives the area lift and projection. This results in a contoured, uplifted look to the whole backside that looks smooth and natural.

How long does a Brazilian Butt Lift last?

The great news is a Brazilian Butt Lift can last up to 20 years! Some of the fat injected into the backside is naturally absorbed back into the body, but some doesn't and stays permanently. As you age your whole body, including your buttocks will change, but staying fit and trim helps keep your butt lift looking great.

Actual Patient of Dr. Del Vecchio:

The Procedure- “taking out unwanted fat and using it where you want it”

Tumescent Solution

Once the donor areas are treated with a dilute local enesthetic, liposuction is performed to obtain the desired volume of fat for transplantation. The good news is patients get an added benefit from this operation, because it is addition/subtraction surgery- taking out unwanted fat and using it where you want it. This results in a tighter look around the waist, thighs and lower back, which accentuates the buttock enlargement and maximizes the result.

Liposuction

The real artistry of buttock augmentation involves the placement of fat and the buttock shaping that in involved. This involves a combination of manual dexterity, an eye for beauty, and artistry, similar to that of a sculptor. Our average volume of fat inserted is 1000-1100 cc, ranging from a low of 600cc to a high of 2500cc

Grafting and Shaping

Once this final phase of fat transplantation is completed, the procedure is complete and you are placed in support garments as the immediate phase of your recovery. The entire procedure can be accomplished without leaving any noticeable scars, so no one will be able to know for certain that you had anything done. After all- its all you!
